The text discusses the challenges of managing different deployment environments, namely QA, Staging, and Production, during the software lifecycle, and how Helm, a Kubernetes package manager, alongside Codefresh, can streamline this process. It explains that Helm simplifies handling environment configurations by using charts, which are Kubernetes manifests with templates, and different values files for each environment. The guide illustrates deploying an example application to various environments using Helm values and automating the deployment process with Codefresh pipelines, emphasizing the importance of environment-specific configurations and the use of configmaps for passing application values. Additionally, it highlights Codefresh's visual dashboard for monitoring deployments and suggests a shift from static to dynamic environments to enhance cost-effectiveness in Kubernetes.
